Description

The problem with immortality is that you want to get it
before you look like this guy. Otherwise, dating can be a
bit on the frustrating side, even if you have lovely blue
eye-sockets and cheekbones to die for. Speaking of blue: the
massive piece of Aquamarine that was the starting material for our
stout, young fellow: it was not an easy thing to source, even in
Mozambique. Crystals of this size do not grow on trees and there
are whole continents that do not have Aqua crystals this size. So
our young lad was special before Luis began his transformative
labors, which resulted in an eternally blue youth. Golden areas on
his crown give him the appearance of having hair, even if it is a
little Trump-like, and the back of his head shows some of the
original crystal faces that were otherwise ground away to reveal
his true beauty. This simple homage to youth is unadorned, rising
on a golden vertebral column from an equally simple, square base of
Rock Crystal with vermeil fittings.Overall Measurements: 9.4 x 8.7 x 8.7 inches (24 x 22 x 22
